| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Soteriologist on 8/17/2014 & rated 90 points: Note dated 8/19/2014: It seems to be peaking on day 3, that is 2 days after opening ! So maybe decant thoroughly when you try it before you make up your mind.
Original Note dated 8/17/2014: Pretty similar to the 2011 Karl H. Johner Blauer Spätburgunder, but with a much better qpr.
Light to medium, ruby, already with pinkish orange edges.
I am beginning to appreciate the slightly stinky "Lord of the Rings" nose of this Kaiserstuhl school of Pinot Noir. Here raspberry, some floral aromas of rose, then mushroomy rotting wood or wet, mossy stones or the inside of a medieval church and a bit of urine (these stinky parts are well integrated on day 3 - 8/19/2014) with lychee. The palate adding something like a nicotine aroma, not quite as complex on the palate as the Johner.
Kaiserstuhl minerality !
Buy.
